Amanda the Adventurer 3 is the final entry in the interactive horror puzzle series created by MANGLEDmaw Games. The story continues after the events of the second chapter, with the player once again stepping into the role of Riley Park. The setting moves from the old attic to a new location — the remains of Hameln Entertainment, the studio responsible for the strange children’s show at the center of the mystery. The main goal is to uncover the truth about Amanda, the tapes, and the events that connect the entire trilogy.
Gameplay Overview
The gameplay structure in Amanda the Adventurer 3 focuses on puzzle solving, exploration, and investigation. The player explores a 3D environment, finds VHS tapes, and interacts with objects that unlock new sections of the facility. Each tape contains short episodes of the Amanda show, which mix cheerful presentation with hidden clues. Solving puzzles often requires combining information from different rooms and episodes. The experience builds slowly, with progress depending on how carefully the player observes small details.
Main gameplay elements include:
- Searching for tapes and hidden triggers across the environment
- Watching recorded episodes that contain coded messages
- Solving environmental puzzles that unlock new rooms
- Collecting notes and objects that reveal background events
- Replaying sections to access new dialogue or endings
Level Design and Exploration
The world of Amanda the Adventurer 3 expands beyond a single confined room. The player now moves through a larger structure filled with locked areas, recording equipment, and archived materials. Each new section adds fragments of information that help reconstruct the story of the original TV program. The level design emphasizes movement through connected rooms rather than isolated puzzles. Lighting, layout, and small visual cues serve as signals that direct the player toward important discoveries. Every solved riddle changes the environment slightly, creating a sense of progress through observation rather than combat.
Player Experience and Approach
The player’s experience in Amanda the Adventurer 3 depends on patience and attention to context. There are no time limits or action sequences; instead, progress comes from piecing together how each tape and clue fits into the broader timeline. Some interactions trigger subtle changes that can only be noticed after replaying earlier parts. The approach is investigative — experiment, test, observe, and draw conclusions. As the story unfolds, the player gains control not by force but by understanding the systems that connect Amanda, Wooly, and the mysterious production team behind the show.
